Hi Cristi, the two operations are not the same if you have more than two Objects. In short, the one pair is a relative "one step" operation, while the other is an absolute "to end" operation. A bit more verbose: All Objects in a diagram are ordered with respect to covering others (z-Axis). Objects more to the front-end are painted over objects behind them (meaning more to the back-end) The "Send to Back" and "Send to Front" put objects to the respective end of the stack, while the other two put the object just one element in the respective direction. For clarity, assume the objects A to D to be in the order (front) A B C D (back). If you do "Send to Back" to object B, the result will be A C D B. On the other hand, if you do "Bring Backwards" on B, the result will be A C B D, meaning C will cover B, but D will not. Hope this helps, Thimo Langbehn -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEAREKAAYFAkvUYOUACgkQLoHAUMxCwiVY+ACg7bv8Q0cGbUEyy9fXwxmZwhqD XgkAoKAAG/AFmbcHjFtkMkrCzqYbRd7Y =8USF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
